Perfect Black Mountain Getaway
A well-located property that is immaculate and very generously appointed. The owners have done a tremendous job with their cabins and really create an excellent atmosphere on their property. Our family of 4 adults (plus little dog) had a great time and would return in a heart-beat. The cabins are immaculately clean, and the owners were kind and welcoming from beginning to end. Could not recommend staying here highly enough!

Perfect Cabin Stay in a Beautiful Farm Setting
We had a fantastic stay at this charming farm in Black Mountain! The property was absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful retreat. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was getting to interact with the animals — goats, chickens, mini ponies, and even ducks! It was such a treat to be able to feed them with the food provided right in the cabin. This was a perfect mix of relaxation and fun for all ages. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway!

We loved our stay at Scott’s place! The cabin was beautiful and spotless, beds were comfy, and the hot tub was clean and worked great. Scott is so friendly and responsive, and our daughter had the BEST time feeding the animals. We will absolutely be back!

Spring Break Gem
Halfback Hollar is a must if you are wanting to be near the Black Mountain area. The farm animals are precious and fun to watch. The kids loved them! New hot tub that provided lots of entertainment and fresh eggs waiting on the counter upon arrival. Comfy sleep number beds were much appreciated. The owners live near by and are more than willing to introduce you to the animals and tell their rescue stories. Or you could just enjoy the solitude and know that Scott is available for any needs that may arise.

Dreamy farm stay in charming small town
We had the best stay! The cabin is so cute and well decorated. We loved the hot tub and electric fire place. Scott brought us fresh eggs and let us meet the animals. Location is awesome - just a few minutes from downtown, 10-15 minutes from hiking trails, and 15-20 minutes from Asheville, but the cabin feels secluded and quiet. Their recommendations for dining out and things to do were great.
